Next Steps were: - Duplicate the book and provide to each family member or trusted friend. (I imagine young children might get a more basic, kid-friendly version) - Review the info every other month and update as needed.

They did not mention thumb drive records which would need secure encryption but could be really handy. They seemed to be focused on non-electronic information in just the physical binder.

I'd be leery of a USB device. They often last a long time, but equally often fail suddenly and for no obvious reason. Or any electronic media, for that matter. I'm a geek by profession and temperament, literally surrounded by tech, but USB fail a lot at work so I wouldn't count on them overmuch in a disaster.

That said--and this may fall under contact info--but I think it'd be worth adding electronic contact methods. Email addresses, common forums, IM accounts. In a disaster electronic communications often become unreliable, and I wouldn't build a plan to include them (during the event itself, that is), but if you get cell signal or whatever you could transmit more info in a fraction of a second via email than via a minute of verbal conversation.

Perhaps a "responder" section? Something for e.g. emergency personnel; a brief of who the carrier is, their medical or biological concerns, and info about their contact person.

I broke mine down by family member, one zipper binder has all the shared stuff then a folder inside for each person. That way when I needed documents for just my son I could take his out and take it with us and leave the rest in the safe.
